Valencia: Possible Expansion?



    Valencia, the greatest imperial power of the Spiral, but better yet, home of the Unicorns (cause who doesn't like Unicorns) is arguably one of the most meticulously deisnged worlds, but what's the use? We only visit it for a few quests before entering Cool Ranch. This, and many other aspects of the storyline makes people wonder "Will Valencia get an expansion?".

   Let's start off this editorial by talking about some of the unvisited places yet. When researching this subject, I noticed the great clockwork machine, in the somewhat center part of the world. (Picture below)



This place has caused lots of suspicions. Many people think (and I agree), that this is the capital/home of the Armada (mentioned in the storyline to be Cadiz). This would work as a perfect final dungeon for the current arc. It's big, certainly looks intimidating, and has that cool flying machine at the top (which would be an amazing mount by the way). Kane's power must be coming from somewhere, and this may be the perfect source.. Where the Armada is created, and forced to overrun the Spiral, this machine is certainly overlooked when we are first introduced to the world.

The ending of Aquila certainly gives us a hint of what may be coming next. Below is something interesting the Meowiarty said while finishing Aquila:



What machine? Is it the one we talked about before? This is definitely suspicious, but certainly interesting.
To top it all off, an expansion to Valencia has been approved by Blind Mew, but when, where, or how is left a mystery. This is what he said in the Pirate101 Community Forums:

"Valencia is a big world - like Skull Island, it has many skyways. The main plot has at least 2 more visits to Valencia planned, each to different skyways where there's a lot more going on.
For Book IV, my main goal was to get you to see Valencia and the Armada up close, and to give you some pretty strong indications of what they intend to do to the whole Spiral if they win. The trick was finding a way for the pirate to go to the home of the big enemies in the game and get out again logically. 
Having you go in the front door, fight the Armada full on, and escape strained my disbelief, especially so early in the story: if the Armada is as big and powerful as we say, they'd just crush you. So the entire interlude in Valencia was envisioned as a heist, or the heroes' trip to the Death Star in Star Wars: get in, do what you need to do, and get out before the Armada realizes you're there.
Sure, Phule does find you, but he's not the most... reliable of clockworks.
Don't worry, you'll see a lot more of Valencia. All in good time..."

So, it has been revealed. We are coming back, and meeting the beautiful horned creatures, and the evil clockworks (and maybe learn a little Italian). With all this information, Valencia will certainly return, but for all we know can be later or in the game, or as soon as after Aquila. What do you guys think?

Question of the Day: When do you think the next part of Valencia will arrive? Why?
